Sudden heart attacks and cardiac arrest cases are becoming an increasing health concern across India and around the world. These medical emergencies are no longer restricted to older adults, as younger individuals and even children are sometimes affected. When such a crisis strikes, the initial minutes are vital for saving a patient's life, a critical timeframe medically known as the golden period. Receiving immediate CPR during this window significantly improves survival odds. To address this urgent need, Amoul Ventilator has developed a portable CPR machine that runs on battery power and can deliver continuous chest compressions for roughly an hour, ensuring uninterrupted support during the golden period.
Public Showcase at Bharat Mandapam
The new portable device was publicly demonstrated during the three-day India Health 2026 event held at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. Providing details about the technology, Amoul Ventilator India Director Vijay Singh explained that the equipment is built to ensure a patient can receive continuous compressions whenever required. The major health sector gathering features participation from numerous domestic and international brands across the healthcare and medtech industries. According to the event organizers, over 300 domestic and international brands are exhibiting at the venue, with more than 8,000 healthcare and medtech professionals expected to attend the program.
Battery Operation and Portability
A key highlight of the portable CPR machine is its battery-powered design, which allows for about one hour of continuous operation after a full charge. It is specifically engineered to provide steady chest compressions during a cardiac arrest emergency. Because of its portable build, the device can be easily transported between different locations, making it suitable for ambulances and hospital emergency rooms alike. Beyond medical facilities, the unit can be kept in offices, schools, colleges, and universities. The company noted that operating the machine requires simple training, enabling a trained individual to use it effectively during a crisis. While Amoul Ventilator is primarily recognized for manufacturing ventilators, the firm has now expanded into portable CPR technology.
Pricing and Technical Specifications
According to the company India director, the portable CPR machine is priced at around 8 lakh rupees. It is targeted for use in hospitals, ambulances, and emergency medical services. The unit functions as an electronic automatic mechanical CPR device. Traditional manual methods of delivering chest compressions can be physically challenging to sustain continuously, whereas the new machine automates the process to ensure consistent performance. The device can also be integrated with a ventilator, offering additional support for critical care patients in intensive care units and emergency wards. Designed for portability, the unit weighs approximately 7 kilograms and comes with a carrying bag for effortless transport. This mobility allows it to be deployed quickly in ambulances to sustain life support before reaching a hospital. Nevertheless, the company emphasizes that CPR and the use of this machine should only be handled by trained personnel following proper medical protocols.
